How to Change Your Kids John Deere Tractor Battery

There will come a time when you need to change the battery in your child’s ride on toy. If you own a Peg Perego toy there is a good chance you will type a search query like: replace kids John Deere tractor battery into Google. Or perhaps: John Deere Gator battery. In either case, you can upgrade to a longer running battery so the kids can enjoy extended playtime.

The video below shows you how to and what you’ll encounter when replacing the battery for the first time. It sounds simple, however there is one aspect that trips parents up. The section below the video will highlight the features and benefits of the new upgraded replacement Peg Perego battery.

Changing Your Peg Perego John Deere Tractor Battery

To summarize the video, you will disconnect the battery from the toy and remove the screws for the hold-down bracket. The hold down bracket has a small plastic space holder which you will also remove. This spacer filled the void and kept the smaller 12V 8Ah battery from rattling around inside the hold down bracket.

The rest is self-explanatory. Pull out the original smaller battery that came with the toy. Replace with the larger longer lasting Impact Battery 12V 15Ah battery. This replacement battery is physically bigger and fully fills the space inside the toys hold down bracket.

Even though the video was specific to replacing and upgrading a kids John Deere tractor battery, any Peg Perego riding toy using the blue 12 Volt Peg Perego Battery system will have the same set up.

Benefits of Upgraded 12V 15Ah Peg Perego Replacement Battery

There are four key benefits to purchasing the 12V 15Ah battery for your child's Peg Perego ride-on-toy.

Lasts Nearly Twice as Long
The original battery is a 12-volt 8 amp. The upgrade is a 12-volt 15 amp. That is up to double the runtime! The kids can play longer before recharging the battery.
More Accessible
Breaker hidden under the blue lid is replaced with a common automotive blade fuse and secured to the wire outside the case.
Thermal Protection
The inline fuse protects battery (and motor) against sudden surges in current when kids run into solid objects or mice chew through wires.
Replacement Parts Available
We’ve got you covered! Simply replace the blue case or wire harness if damaged. No need to buy a whole new battery system. These can be used on Peg Perego 12V 12Ah through 15Ah batteries even if not purchased from Impact Battery.
